World of Tanks is a legendary game that has not given up its leadership position in the gaming market for many years. Such success and mega popularity creates conditions for constant updating of mods. WoT players already have more than a thousand modifications for full game functionality. But here the question arises: how to remove outdated mods and replace them with more advanced ones? This will be discussed further.

To understand the essence of the uninstallation process, you need to understand the classification of mods. There are two main groups - mods from Jove (various modpacks) and single mods. The modpack includes a set of all the necessary mods, which are grouped into a common folder. Single mods are installed chaotically and require a lot of time to remove.

Removing mods in World of tanks using the built-in uninstall program

To remove a group of mods from Jove, you need to find the unins1 folder in the main folder of the program installer. Click on the shortcut and confirm the Clear All prompt. The uninstallation process will start and all installed mods will be removed automatically. In this case, additional manual removal is not necessary. It is worth noting that when you run the installer again, it clears the game client of all previous outdated mods and installs it on a clean platform.

Removing mods in World of tanks through the root folder

You can delete single mods, without the ability to delete them yourself, by going through the following folders: “Games” ― “World of Tanks” ― “res mods” ― “Delete”. However, using the same method, you can clear the game from Job’s mods if problems arise with the uninstallation wizard.



Removing mods in World of tanks using system programs

Any operating system has a built-in “Add or Remove Programs” service. When you open this program, you will see a list of applications available for removal. All you have to do is select the desired folder and click “Delete”. Unfortunately, uninstallation is only possible for mods from Jove. Small installation modes cannot be removed using this method.



Removing World of tanks mods using special utilities

You can get rid of unnecessary, outdated programs by using the CCleaner utility. To do this, you will need to download this program and install it. Once launched, CCleaner will scan your computer and provide a list of folders to delete. The utility detects programs installed by an automatic installer, but for mods with manual installation this option is not possible.

A variety of modifications for World of Tanksres help make the game more interesting and colorful. But excessive “cluttering” of the game with unnecessary applications can significantly spoil the gameplay, so you should regularly remove unnecessary mods.

The World Of Tanks game is so popular not only because of its attractive gameplay and authentic military equipment, but also because of the huge number of different add-ons. The most famous and successful are mod packs from Jove. But sometimes you have to abandon them, so it’s useful to know how to remove mods from Jove.

Standard removal

You can get rid of mods in the same way that helps to uninstall a program on Windows 8 - use the uninstall function in the Control Panel.


But sometimes users find that this method does not help, and even after removing the mod, the materials from it continue to remain in the game. If you also encounter a similar problem, you will have to take some additional steps.

Cleaning the system manually

When installing a mod, a “res_mods 8.8” directory is automatically created in the game directory. It stores all files with additional materials.
However, each mod has its own folder here, so you can delete them individually. Erase them manually, and then they will no longer appear in the game. You only need to leave the read.me file, as it is needed for WoT to work correctly.

If a file or folder cannot be deleted for some reason, use the Unlocker program.

This free utility will help you unlock any file and then send it to the trash or completely delete it from the system. This program also has a portable version that runs without prior installation.

Do not erase the “res_mods 8.8” folder itself. This method helps with deleting Denver, but in this case it may result in you no longer being able to launch WoT. You will have to uninstall and then reinstall the client for the game to work correctly.

The most radical method for removing mods from Jove is to uninstall the client itself, clean the registry using CCleaner, and then reinstall the game.

You can also use programs that help you completely remove the game from your computer - Revo Uninstaller or Uninstall Tool. They operate on the same principle, finding and erasing all application executable files.

Oddly enough, many people don’t know how to remove mods in WOT, do it correctly and without consequences for the game client. This is especially true for all kinds of mod assemblies, the so-called modpacks. Sometimes you decide to remove mods, go to “Add\Remove Programs”, a standard Windows utility, click “Delete” and delete the entire client

In the screenshot below, you can clearly see the size of the multipack and the size of the client itself are the same. So it turns out that when you click delete multipack, you delete the entire client! And then you wait a long, long time for a clean version of the game client to download and install. Tough, isn't it?! 😉

So, so that you do not have such misunderstandings, in this article I will describe the correct removal of all mods.

How to remove mods in WOT and not get hemorrhoids

The first and most important thing I would like to note is that all modpack assemblies that you installed through the installer must also be removed through the same installer. For example, I took two large modders, modpackers and multipackers

Everything is simple isn’t it?! All modpacks that have their own installer are deleted in the same way.

Even easier may be to manually remove mods. For this we follow the path your computer\your drive\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\client version\ and delete all contents:

It often happens that there is a need to remove some mods in the game World of Tanks. The reasons can be completely different - you don’t like the mod, you’re tired of it, it breaks the game, or there are simply so many mods that they begin to interfere with the process. In this case, you need to remove one, several, and in some cases all downloaded game mods.

This article will discuss in detail, how to completely remove modsWOT or just some of them.

How to get rid of a certain mod

First, you need to work hard and make a backup copy of the information, so that it is easy to return everything to its original state if something suddenly goes wrong. To do this, copy the res_mods folder (it is located in the game folder) to any place on the computer, maybe directly to the desktop.

After the backup, go to the folder with the World of Tanks game, then, to the res_mods folder, then select the folder with the number of the latest game patch and there we look for the folder with the mod that needs to be deleted.

Or you can do it another way:

This method is only suitable if the modification sources have not been deleted from the computer.


This way, only the mod that is really not needed will be removed, and everything else will remain in place.

If something went wrong during deletion or the desired mod was deleted, then simply restore the res_mods folder. To do this, delete it in the game folder and copy the backup one there. After this procedure, everything will return to its original state and you can try again to remove unnecessary modifications.

How to get rid of all installed mods at once

In this case, you can also make a backup if you suddenly want to return the mods to their place. But if the decision to remove modifications is firm, then you don’t have to bother with backups, but immediately begin actions to destroy folders with mods.

  • Go to the folder with the game World of Tanks.
  • Click “Folder Location”, or just go to the game folder.
  • Next, to daddy res_mods.
  • After this, you need to go to the folder with the latest patch number.
  • We delete all content.
  • In this case, you do not need to delete the folder with the last patch number!

Thus, all mods will be completely and completely removed.

Some World of Tanks players install various mods to get additional features in the game. Some mods make Tanks more comfortable, others seriously affect the gameplay - this type can easily be called cheats. A set of mods from Jove has gained great popularity. When installing additional software, there are usually no problems, which cannot be said about uninstalling it. Read on to find out how to get rid of them.

Standard mod pack removal

To remove a mod pack or an individual mod, you can use the standard service of the operating system according to the following instructions:


The installed applications may not include the application you are interested in. This can be explained by the fact that you downloaded a ready-made archive with a mod pack, and not an installation file. Also, the installation may have been incorrect, as a result of which Windows did not add the program to the list of installed applications. So, if this method does not help, then you can move on to a deeper method.

Manual removal of a mod

The WoT rules clearly state that using auxiliary software is prohibited - any third-party programs will be regarded as cheats. Almost all gamers know about this, so installing various mods is done at your own peril and risk. If you have already installed unverified software, which led to a failure in WoT, we suggest using the manual removal method.

You need to find a folder in the World of Tanks directory called res_mods 8.8. This directory contains all the additional materials for the game that you installed. You can easily find a mod pack from Jove by folder name. Each mod should have a separate directory. Just delete unnecessary folders so that they stop working in World of Tanks. Also in the mods directory you will see a file read.me– it must be left in order for WoT to work correctly.

Third-party programs for removing Jove mods

Many WoT fans encounter a problem when a folder cannot be deleted even as an administrator. In this case, we recommend using a special utility that removes problematic files.

For example, you can take the simple and free Unlocker application, which can be downloaded from here. There are alternative programs, including paid versions.

The utility works according to the following scheme:

  1. The program scans the problematic file.
  2. Unlocking in progress.
  3. The file is sent to the trash and completely deleted from the computer.
If you don’t want to install the program just for one folder, then you can use the portable version - it works immediately after downloading.

IMPORTANT! You cannot delete the main res_mods folder, as this may lead to failures when logging into the server.


There is also a radical method of clearing the game of all mods - this is the complete removal of World of Tanks. To do this, it is worth using Revo Uninstaller, since it deletes all entries about the program on the computer, unlike the standard Windows service. It is also recommended to clean the registry. To do this, you can use the CCleaner utility. After that, download the client from the official website and install. Please note that the update to the latest version of WoT will occur automatically.
